Try holding the accelerator flat to the floor and crank the engine over. It shouldnt start. Then start the car as normal. That fixed it for me. Hope it helpsJoel Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44525-irregular-idle/#findComment-659623 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it helpsJoelMy understanding was holding your foot flat to the floor, puts the car into flood clear mode and reset the cam phasers not the tps. I thought the TPS had to be done with the WDS tool? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44525-irregular-idle/#findComment-662413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
